The Santo Niño de Atocha Prayer is a prayer to the Child Jesus in the Philippines. It was written by a priest named Fr. Juan de Plasencia in 1596, during the time when the Philippines was under Spanish rule.
The Santo Niño de Atocha Prayer is also known as the “Prayer for Peace”. This prayer is recited during times of war or when there are natural calamities hitting our country.
The word “santo” means holy and “nino” means child; therefore, it can be translated to “Holy Child”.
The Santo Niño de Atocha is a Christian icon representing the Child Jesus. It is said to have been found on the shores of Manila Bay in 1596 by a poor fisherman named Juan Gonzales. The image, which was made of ivory and gold, was initially called Nuestra Senora del Santisimo Rosario (Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary). In 1663, it was renamed as the Santo Niño de Cebu after it was brought to Cebu by Augustinian friars.
The icon is often depicted as having fair skin and golden hair, with a blue robe and wearing a crown. He holds a cross in his right hand and a globe in his left hand.

Prostrate before the majesty of our God, behold Him whom you adore and who has redeemed you, who is your only Lord and Master.
O Infant Jesus! My heart is overflowing with gratitude for the favors which thou hast obtained for me. My soul delights in thy goodness, my spirit rejoices in thy mercy; and I am consumed with love for thee.
I love Thee, O my beloved Jesus! I love Thee because Thou hast first loved me; because Thou hast died for me; because Thou hast paid for all my sins; because Thou hast shown me such great kindness as to call me by thy name; because Thou art my King and my God.

Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
